Alaska kicks off the 2010 census later this month. The village of Noorvik will be the first in the country to have its residents tallied for the national headcount.
US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke made a visit to census headquarters in Anchorage on Friday to tour the facility and to answer questions from census community partners who are working to reach different ethnic groups. He says, this year, census officials are going door to door with a simple form.
